Very quickly, the first few items were auctioned off. Su Lei laughed and said, "Everyone, our auction house obtained a treasure two days ago. I believe everyone will be interested in it. This treasure is a top-notch weapon! "
After saying that, he clapped his hands. Instantly, an attendant came up with a red sandalwood plate. On the plate was a long wooden box.
Opening the wooden box, Su Lei took out a long sword and pulled it out with a "zheng —" sound. The sword carried a dragon's roar and gleamed coldly. As expected of an item that could be auctioned off here, it was indeed extraordinary.
"This long sword is called the Iron Cutter. It was forged by the most famous blacksmith in our Heavenly State, Ruan Chengzhi. It can cut even a strand of hair. It's definitely a top-notch godly weapon and can be said to be a top-notch collector's item! As everyone knows, this is the era of science and technology. Weapons like this that are purely forged by traditional craftsmanship are often priceless. We know that many people like to hang exquisite and beautiful long swords on the walls of their homes as decorations, commonly known as hanging swords. However, this Iron Chopping Sword was definitely worthy of being called the treasured sword of the house! Everyone, please take a look! "
As he said that, an attendant walked up to the stage with a steel pipe in his hand. Su Lei held the Iron Chopping Sword in his hand and swung it with a "swoosh". With a soft "crack", the steel pipe was immediately split into two. The cut was as smooth as a mirror, causing all the guests present to exclaim in surprise.
Hong Dali touched his chin. "This thing is not bad."
The people around him nodded.
"Then, now." Seeing that everyone's appetite had been whetted, Su Lei nodded in satisfaction and loudly announced, "The auction for the famous sword Iron Cutter starts now! The starting price is 100,000. Those who want it, please bid. "
"This is good, I'll buy it to play with!" Hong Dali hurriedly raised his paddle. "300,000!"
Tripling the price in one bid. You can't play like this!
This cut off at least 80% of the people who wanted to bid. However, there were still people who liked to collect such treasured swords. Very quickly, someone raised the price. "350,000."
"Someone has bid 350,000. Is there anyone who wants to bid higher than him? 350,000 going once! "
"Five hundred thousand." Hong Dali didn't even think about it and directly bid again.
At this moment, Hong Anbao laughed coldly and thought to himself, This prodigal has made his move. Looks like he really wants this. If I don't scam him now, it would really be a waste of such a good opportunity. Thinking up to this point, Hong Anbao slowly raised the card in his hand. "600,000."
Hearing this voice, the hall immediately quietened down.
It was Hong Anbao from the Hong Family! Speaking of the Hong Family, there wasn't anyone present who didn't know about them. That was the Hong Family that had influence over half of the entire Heavenly State. Although people would usually think of the leader Hong Weiguo first, Hong Anbao was also a rather powerful branch of the Hong Family and had a rather high status in the family. Even the superstar Tai Yajing wanted to join his family, not to mention others.
Now that Hong Anbao had called out a high price of 500,000, he had both face and money. The entire auction venue instantly quietened down.
No one was willing to offend the Hong Family.
Although the Steel Cleaving Sword was good, it wasn't something too precious. Even if it was rare, it wasn't a necessity.
Most importantly, there was a fundamental difference between Hong Anbao and Hong Dali.
Hong Dali was known as a prodigal. He never cared about spending money, even if someone raised the price with him. However, Hong Anbao's offer was different. If he really wanted it, fighting with him over it would definitely not end well for him.
Therefore, at this moment, the entire place was completely silent. Everyone's gaze was focused on Hong Dali and Hong Anbao.
Sitting on top of the mountain to watch the tigers fight, this kind of excitement was definitely rare.
"Steel Cleaving Sword, 500,000 going once!"
Seeing that Hong Anbao had made a bid, Su Lei gave him some face and instantly started shouting.
Hong Anbao's face was full of pride, and he didn't forget to turn around and smile at Hong Dali.
"800,000." Hong Dali sniffled, his expression was rather calm. In fact, to him, there was basically no need to hesitate if it was within five million.
"One million!" Hong Anbao was very clear about Hong Dali's background and instantly raised the card to increase the price.
"1.5 million." Hong Dali didn't hesitate at all and grinned.
"1.8 million!"
In fact, for these people, 500,000 yuan was already a sky-high price for a superior sword made of ordinary steel. At least it could be considered as supporting charity. But in the blink of an eye, it had reached 1.8 million. It was really shocking.
"2.15 million." Hong Dali continued to raise the card.
By this time, Hong Anbao had already completely gotten into the rhythm. As if it was a natural reaction, he raised the card and shouted, "2.5 million!"
But as soon as he shouted, he knew he was in trouble. Indeed, many people around him were secretly laughing. Hong Anbao's face turned green and white, and he hurriedly changed his bid. "2.6 million!"
But this time, Hong Dali actually didn't follow up. Hong Anbao only heard Tang Muxin, who was sitting beside Hong Dali, say, "Dali, stop bidding. I just remembered, can your body play with this?"
"Aye?!" Hong Dali seemed to have awoken from a dream. After thinking carefully, he instantly exclaimed, "Ah! If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten. Luckily, he increased the price again just now, right? Then I'll give up! "
I'll give up … I'll give up … give up … give up … give up …
The auction hall was completely silent. After a short moment of silence, there was finally a burst of intense chatter!
"He, he actually gave up! He actually gave up at this time? "
"Nonsense, it's just a sword. This thing is at most worth 500,000 to 600,000. It's already sold for 2.6 million. That's an astronomical figure!"
"That's right, that's right. It's really a brave retreat. If it were me, I would have fought to the end even if it meant losing face."
"That's why I said you can't do it. Without a bit of determination, how can you advance and retreat freely? The difference in levels, the difference in levels."
"Look at what you're saying, it's not that incredible. Didn't you hear what Young Master Dali said? His body has always been weak. This thing weighs at least a few kilograms. He originally wanted to buy it to play with, but now that he remembered that he can't use it, he doesn't want to play with it anymore. It's normal to give up. It's just that … "He didn't finish his sentence, but everyone naturally knew what he meant.
Hong Anbao gritted his teeth and curled up in his chair, wanting to cry but having no tears.
He had calculated Hong Dali's bottom line, but he had forgotten Hong Dali's physical condition! Thinking about it, it was true. What kind of physical condition did Hong Dali have? It would be a miracle if a person who could walk 800 to 1000 meters could carry such a thing. If it was something else fun that he liked, it wouldn't be a problem for it to fetch 4 million. But it just had to be this thing.
This time, it was definitely a huge loss. 2.6 million, it wasn't a small amount.
But what made Hong Anbao the most uncomfortable was that he couldn't show any signs of regret. If he did that, people would look down on him even more. He could only pretend that he really wanted this thing and kept smiling at the people around him to show that he was satisfied.
Hong Anbao didn't regret it, but his intestines were green.
